A real life blog by a spiritual yet imperfect mom on a journey with her beloved to discover Christ, grow in love, live fully and become a true disciple of the one and only creator of all things. Here you will be encouraged, see some cool pictures I take from time to time and hear about healthy living, parenting, upcycling, biblical teachings, homeschooling and anything whimsical and beautiful!

Is it in a building, a person, a credit card, a location, a wardrobe or a philosophical teaching?

I see a Christ that cries for his servants to realize that true identity is only found and held in Him. In his wounds that bled on Calvary. In his blood that was shed for our filth.

It is at the foot of His cross that we find our identity. It is there that we see the savior, hanging lifeless for all of mankind. It is there, at the foot of his cross that we loose all that we are and gain all that He wants us to become.

Let us not loose focus on who the author and finisher of our faith is. He is the Christ child, who grew up among Jews, gentiles, prostitutes and heretics. The Christ child who spoke with authority in the temple while others marveled at his wisdom and criticized him.

The child that grew up and spoke to crowds congregated in Jewish temples. The savior who rescued a harlot from being stoned.

The redemption of mankind who came into the world as a child and left as the King of Kings and Lord of Lords.

His identity was in His father and in doing the will of his father. He was no less of a savior when he established his ministry among unbelieving Jews and Pharisees. He was and always will be God incarnate.

Sometimes we are ridiculed and mistreated by the world and by our own brothers, when we choose to take up the Cross of Christ. But in all things we know that if we have Jesus as our CEO and CFO all things will work out for good.

The creator and lover of our souls knows the deepest desires and troubles of our heart. He is the only one who can comfort, restore, clean, rebuild and heal those things in us that keep us apart from Him.

And we know that it is in the fiery furnace that we find Jesus walking among us, as did Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego.
